Clogs,
high heels, walking boots, bare feet are acoustic instruments.
Performative sound practice touches surfaces, echoes walls, utters
words. In times when we have lost time
as
we knew it before digital formats, a sonopoeticwalking
piece
measures the world with the body. Shrunk in the fading of shouted
words, the musically gifted Ekho remains misunderstood, left to the
era of longing. What
is she saying? The
piece is based on performative field recording practice, executed in
Vienna, with few reminiscence from the sonic paths around Berlin,
Trieste, Maribor and
Kyoto.
